while we wait for the April 24th release of the Some Days are Better than Others DVD, here are some various press reviews to wet your apatite…
“McCormick has translated song into cinema, where tone and feeling supersede plot and arc. No doubt some viewers will not know how to react to the muted moments of the film, but for those willing to sit back and watch the verses unfold, it is a lilting, beautiful melody to behold.”
Leslie-Stonebraker, New York Press
“The film itself seems to be going nowhere slowly, but in this case, that’s a good thing. It allows observant writer-director Matt McCormick to take his time on the small moments and make us care more about his characters.”
David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle
“You will not see a film with more indie rock cred this year—or maybe ever…”
-Eric Grandy, The Seattle Stranger
“Mr. McCormick is a talented miniaturist, and “Some Days” is full of scenes and details that will make you smile.”
Mike Hale, The New York Times
“…a lot of fans have been awaiting McCormick’s foray into feature filmmaking. Some Days are Better than Others is that debut picture, and perhaps what struck me the most about it is its quiet confidence. McCormick has resisted easy jokes, satirical jabs, or surface-level ironies, instead investing in his characters real warmth and compassion.”
-Scott Macaulay, Filmmaker Magazine
“Some Days Are Better Than Others is just an excellently scripted, beautifully shot, and surprisingly well acted movie about restless maturation that shouldn’t be missed….”
-Chris Estey, KEXP Radio
“once you fall into McCormick’s slow but lyrical groove, his film’s quietly compassionate meditation on abandonment becomes quite moving.”
-Jeff Meyers, Metro Times
“Featuring indie godheads James Mercer (the Shins) and Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney), along with fine actress Renee Roman Nose, Some Days Are Better Than Others brings a Northwestern sensibility to the Slacker genre….”
-Cindy Widner, The Austin Chronicle
“Matt McCormick’s first feature-length film is a pensive character piece with a perfectly Portland heart…”
-Molly Templeton, The Eugene Weekly
““Some Days Are Better Than Others” is a sensitive and soulful film, populated by characters recognizably weighed down by both circumstance and a greater, free-floating ambivalence.”
-Brent Simon, CraveOnline
